Chapter 36, Problem 13Q
In three arrangements you view two closely spaced small objects that are the same large distance from you. The angles that the objects occupy in your field of view and their distances from you are the following: (1) 2ϕ and R; (2) 2ϕ and 2R; (3) ϕ/2 and R/2. (a) Rank the arrangements according to the separation between the objects, greatest first. If you can just barely resolve the two objects in arrangement 2, can you resolve them in (b) arrangement 1 and (c) arrangement 3?

A coin is lying at the bottom of a pool of water that is 5.5 feetdeep. Viewed from directly above the coin, how far below the surface of the water does the coin appear to be? (The coin is assumedto be small in diameter; therefore, we can use the small-angleapproximations sin u ≅ tan u ≅ u.)
A boy floating on a pond watches a fish swim away from him as in the figure below. If the fish is 2.51 m beneath the surface, for what maximum distance d (in m) will he be able to see the fish? Neglect the height of the boy's eyes above the water.

The convex face is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 21.6 cm, and the two rays are h1 = 0.300 cm and h2 = 6.90 cm from the principal axis. If we do not make the paraxial approximation, then these parallel rays will not actually cross the principal axis in exactly the same location (i.e., spherical aberration occurs).Calculate where ray 2 crosses the principal axis, measured relative to the lens's center of curvature. Calculate the difference in the positions where the two rays cross the principal axis. ( show all your work.)Assuming the paraxial approximation (equivalent to saying h is small compared to R), find an algebraic formula for the focal length of this lens.

- The normal human eye has maximum visual acuity with a pupil size of about 3 mm. For larger pupils, acuity decreases due to increasing aberrations; for smaller pupils, acuity decreases due to increasing effects of diffraction. Ifyour pupil diameter is 2.0 mm, as it would be in fairly bright light, what is the smallest diameter circle that you can barely see as a circle, rather than just a dot, if the circle is at your near point, 25 cm from your eye?

As you retire to your room, you realize you have lost the key to the pool. You get a powerful flashlight and walk around the pool shining the light on it. The light illuminates the key, which lies at the bottom of the pool, when you hold the flashlight 1.2 m from the surface of the water and point it toward the surface at a horizontal distance of 1.5 m from the edge (see figure).
